Hi all,

I have a plugin that use the crm web service to update another entity;s field. The problem is that this field can be modified from 2 different sources (2 plugins).

Is there a way to identify the caller plugin inside of a plugin?

Thanks!

You will have to use the SharedVariables to pass some info around between plugins. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb959596.aspx

yes, just add a String value to the SharedVariables similar tothis http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc151094.aspx in your first plugin and then retreive the value in your second plugin.

I think you should be able to get if through Collerorigin if it's equal to "WebServiceApi" on context

Yes, but the update call can came from 2 different sources (2 different plugins) and i want to be able to find what is the exactly plugin that made the update. I want to find his type or other identifications, maybe the primary entity name or smtg.

Yes, I am agree with Rhett, you can use sharevariable to pass data between plugin, in your plugin store some value in shared variable and in other plugin check if this value present or not, if it is present it means the earlier plugin has fired already.
